Thanks for everyone's help. Since I now got it working I though I should share exactly what I did:
1. get and burn latest iso image 2. boot routerbox with cd, make sure a blank msdos formatted floppy is in the drive. 3. rtfm and set everything up and backup as usual (generic step, I know) 4. mount the floppy and add the files pkgpath.cfg and lrpkg.cfg to the floppy --my pkgpath.cfg contents-- /dev/fd0:msdos --my lrpkg.cfg contents-- etc,local,modules,ramlog,sshd,weblet It was step 4 which I wasn't doing. I found it at the bottom of the docs page at http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/files/LRP-CD/LRP-CD-20001109/LRP-CD-Readme.txt.
